Case Method for the Three Punishments
Analyze punishment branch configurations through school tables, completeness, repetition, strength, overlap, timing, and non-moral boundaries.
Overview
A Three Punishments case must state the adopted punishment table and whether the school requires a full set, a pair, repeated branch, or another completion rule. It then records position, layer, roots, season, strength, overlapping clashes and harmonies, and the technical function affected. The historical term is not a legal or moral verdict. It does not prove crime, punishment, abuse, self-harm, illness, injury, imprisonment, guilt, or bad character.
At a glance
- Rule source
- School-specific punishment table and completion condition
- Possible forms
- Full set, accepted pair, self-punishment, repetition, or incomplete
- Context
- Position, layer, season, roots, strength, and affected function
- Overlaps
- Clash, harmony, harm, break, combination, or meeting frame
- Timing
- A timed member or repetition remains period-specific
- Not implied
- Crime, guilt, abuse, self-harm, illness, injury, or imprisonment
Publish the adopted punishment table
State the recognized groups, pair or full-set requirements, self-punishment rule, and treatment of repeated branches.
Do not combine incompatible school tables or present a disputed pair as universal.
- Cite the operational table.
- Label disputed completion rules.
Locate the affected chart function
Record participants, pillar positions, layers, season, roots, strength, hidden stems, and the specific structural pathway changed.
A name alone is not an effect. Compare the configuration with the chart before the relation is added.
- Name the changed pathway.
- Do not reason from the English label.
Keep overlapping relations visible
Map clashes, harmonies, harms, breaks, triple frames, and timing contacts sharing the branches.
Evaluate coexistence, reinforcement, redirection, or limited effect without adding symbolic “severity” scores.
- Preserve the relation graph.
- Avoid cumulative disaster scoring.
Remove legal and moral meanings
Punishment is a traditional relation name, not proof of guilt, crime, abuse, self-harm, illness, injury, incarceration, or bad character.
Legal, safety, and health concerns require direct evidence, due process, and qualified help.
- No accusation from the chart.
- No diagnosis or danger label.
